The carnival on the Lantern Festival ended until midnight, and many restaurants in Kaifeng City were even open all night. Drinkers who were energetic lingered everywhere, discussing the gorgeous fireworks that appeared for the first time this year.↖

After handing over the letter to Lu Yijian, Xu Ping no longer cared about this matter. In his opinion, Lu Yijian simply proposed to impose a little punishment on Zhang Shixun and Yang Chongxun, and then observe the trend. If the censor in the court held on to the matter, then additional punishment would be added. This matter cannot be investigated in depth. If the city officials participate in business, there will be too many officials involved, and the trouble will not end in the end.

The only accident happened was the censor and censor. Most of these people had low positions and were responsible for important positions in Qing dynasties, so they had no chance to get rich. They didn't know without contact. It would be fine if they didn't know about it before. When this matter came out, everyone saw that other officials made money like this, and they might not be able to bear it.

Some of the censors are honest and self-confident, but some of them want to make money but have no chance. No matter which one, they will spare no effort to chase and fight. How to end up depends on how much anger they have in their hearts.

Xu Ping didn't care about these things. What he really cared about was the problem of the three officials reflected this time. With casual arrests, almost all the officials who dealt with goods were involved. According to his previous life, this was a case.

This is the case with the goods service, what about the other farm warehouses under the three departments? According to Xu Ping's experience in his previous life, I am afraid that none of them are clean.

Whether to deal with it or not? How to deal with it? Xu Ping was a little confused.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Central Plains region was related to each other, and the political upper class was frequently changed, which instead created a lower class of public officials with complex relationships. From the eunuchs in the palace to the inconspicuous yamen officials, and even the middle and lower class officers in the army were often passed down from the Five Dynasties period. The regime was changing, but this class was as stable as a rock.

As the Taizong period emphasized the use of literati officials from the imperial examinations, the separation of officials became more and more serious. Some yamen were even controlled by public officials. Officials were only nominal chief officials, and the specific affairs were all made by public officials who did things.

Faced with such a class, it is not enough to just be determined to rectify it. It is almost impossible to complete the task if you change the whole body and replace the person with the right person after you replace it.

Even if Xu Ping was determined, he was powerless for a while and could only wait for the opportunity slowly.

On March 17th, Sansi Bookstore.

Xu Ping, Han Qi and Wang Yaochen and others gathered here, waiting for the first book about Qian Fa to be printed.

Yesterday they gathered together to discuss their articles, and finally finalized them. Shi Quanbin arranged for people to type overnight and print them in time. When the Spring Festival holiday ends tomorrow, the book will be released and then given to relevant yamen and officials.

New things are now being paid for by the Sansi, and when there is an impact in the future, people who want to read can spend money to subscribe. Even Xu Ping thought that publications of such content should be ordered by relevant government agencies with public funds for public funds.

Shi Quanbin watched by himself, and waited until the first page was printed, and before he could dry, he returned to the official hall in his hand and handed it to Xu Ping and others who were waiting here.

Xu Ping took it and Shi Quanbin said, "Marquis of the County, look at the book being printed so well? Are there any mistakes?"

Most of the craftsmen in the book engraving company hired people who used to engrave books in the bookstore. They have been in the industry for many years, so there is no problem with proofreading these things, but they are not skilled in typing type, and have many problems such as vague black edges, which are still far from the current woodblock printing.

Xu Ping had seen it and was not very satisfied with it, but the effect could only be achieved by craftsmen slowly using time to grind their experience. He didn't say anything when he said anything, and he handed it over to Han Qi who was standing aside.

Han Qi looked carefully and nodded and exclaimed: "We just finished proofreading the manuscript yesterday afternoon, but I didn't expect it to be printed overnight. Although it is still slightly worse than the engraved books, this time is not as good as the engraved papers in any case."

After reading the message from several people, they all felt satisfied.

Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin: "Let's do this first, and instruct the craftsmen not to print too fast, and make sure to print every page clearly. You can ask the craftsman to print two sample books first. After we have read it, we will print another 500 copies."

Shi Quanbin went, and Xu Ping said: "Everyone sit down and wait with peace of mind. The sample book will not be printed at noon. After we read it, we went to the nearby Qingfeng Building for a drink."

Sitting and drinking tea for a while, Wang Yaochen said to Xu Ping: "Yesterday, there was a rumor in the city that the goods business in Shangyuan Festival was found to be colluding with the public officials to exchange tea shops. Is this really the case?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to send the Xiang army to fire-proof candles, but who knew it was found out that the matter came out. The prisoners handed over to Kaifeng Mansion early, and I don't know if they had any questions."

At that time, when the Korean generals were asked to send troops to inspect the venue, Xu Ping originally heard Xu Chang say that someone wanted to change tea to attract the intention, but now he really found out the matter, but he said his original intention no matter how he said it. Xu Ping is not greedy for this little credit, and it would be really not worth it if he was hated for this little thing.

Wang Yaochen started to start and everyone discussed the case of the Shangyuan Festival, especially the Zhang family and Yang family involved. They were all interested in what the court would do.

Except for Xu Ping, all the middle and lower-level officials here are. It is not easy to live in the capital. If you want to do business and make a fortune, you don’t have the capital to do it. Fang Xie and Wang Bin, who have been an official for a longer time, have some spare money. They just invest in the outside quota and sit for interest and pay for the transfer shop. They have only heard of the business that can be used to make thousands of dollars at any time, but they don’t know the details inside.

The officials of the three departments are all officials of affairs, unlike the censors and the civic officials of the Pavilion. This kind of thing is just a fun thing, and they are not prepared to write a memorial to severely punish them.

Han Qi was steady and did not participate in the discussion of this matter. He was discussing the money method seriously with Xu Ping.

During the Spring Festival celebration, Zuozangkuli went out a lot of money. Han Qi, who was in charge of Zuozangkuli, watched Kuli gradually become empty and became more and more interested in the new money method.

Han Qi said: "After the festival, the Secretary of the Central Committee will inevitably discuss the matter of new cast iron coins. What do you think about Yunxing?"

"I hope it goes well and don't cause any trouble. According to Xichuan's experience, it should be reasonable to have one copper coin and five iron coins, and there will be no big trouble. If new money is used, maybe the tax will be collected a little more."

Zhang Shixun, who raised his nose and eyebrows, is in trouble now, so the resistance should not be too great.

Han Qi said: "The money method is not a trivial matter. According to my estimate, I may choose a few states to try it out. It is naturally impossible to have a good area of ​​Kaifeng Prefecture. If it is too far away from the capital and difficult to control, Yunxing, if this is true, you should choose the place carefully."

Xu Ping nodded: "Indeed, if you choose to go to Liangzhe, Jiangnan, who knows what it looks like? It is best to choose Jingxi Road, which happens to be the marketing area of ​​the new tea method, which is convenient to take care of."

At this time, the transferee of Jingxi Road was Wang Yong, the eldest son of Wang Dan. Because of Wang Su, he also had contacts with Xu Ping's family. There was a familiar official supervisor, which was convenient for Xu Ping to operate.

While Xu Ping and others were watching the printing of books, in the restaurant by the Bian River, Master Liu looked at the several confidant subordinates standing in front of him and said calmly: "Is there any result in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Shi Qingnian replied respectfully: "Return to the Grand Tutor, the case has been tried, but Cheng Lin, the mansion's official, has not yet taken the matter and will not settle it until tomorrow. But you are relieved. Someone in our patrol has killed the case and there is no big deal."

"Well, I must be told to do it carefully and not be as careless as the day before yesterday."

Shi Qingnian agreed with his promise.

"Also, the family of the officials involved in the case must be arranged carefully so that they have no worries. This time, the family of generals and ministers is implicated, and the court is afraid that they will not let it go. These abortions are bound to be matched. If they suffer this pain, we must take good care of his family and never do anything to put a deception."

The public officials who deal with goods took all the responsibility. If they were not compensated, then where would anyone follow Mr. Liu to do things in the future? Besides, these minor officials are also relatives and relatives, friends and friends, and they have all kinds of mercy.

After asking about the case, Master Liu sighed: "We cannot replace all the tea entries during the Spring Festival. It will be difficult for us to do it in the future. We will change the accounts bit by bit, not to mention the flaws. Over time, the delay will be overwhelming. The turnover will not work, and it will delay many opportunities to make money!"

Even when he reached this point, Master Liu did not consider following the normal procedures and taking the real money to exchange the tea he received for tea. First, the profit was low, and no one had that much cash to make toss.

The amount of funds that Mr. Liu could use was considerable, but most of them were not his own money. The biggest reason was the capital entrusted by the powerful and noble families to the people to manage. Once these funds were moved, the main family would have to use the turnover to cause a big disaster. It is not a big deal for the court to steal money from a little bit. Officials sometimes turn a blind eye, but if the officials' own money is less, it is not so easy to get over.

No matter how powerful the public officials are, they are not a solid piece of iron. If they are forced to be suppressed by powerful officials, they must be thrown out to the jar. It would be hard to say who is in trouble at that time.

He still had to change these tea indices at the old price to real tea, but he had no chance to change them once, so he could only move the ants in the future and let the official in charge change the tea bit by bit.

Thinking of this headache, Master Liu slapped the table: "This Han Zong is really abominable! If he hadn't pursued him to the end, how could he cause so many troubles? At that time, he would have driven away the tea-carrying person, but he had to arrest him for interrogation. I'll record this matter with him first, and then he will be dismissed, so he will not give up!"
